Pros

Competitive salary, great benefits, flex hours, great work location

Cons

The workload was heavy and the work days were long. There was no formal training so I was forced to learn on the job. My manager was always on travel and was difficult to reach. Coworkers were dog eat dog and difficult to work with.

Good people, poor management

Pros

Most co-workers were great. Interesting job. Pay is decent. Lots of different locations and programs to choose from.

Cons

Unethical hiring practices. Req"s are written for specific people, buried in the system, and held open for the minimum amount of time. People are hired and promoted based on who they know, not actual qualifications. Ethics guidelines in general do not seem to apply to management.

Pros

-Unique products and programs you can't find anywhere else -Large percentage of staff will be eligible for retirement in 5-10 years so I imagine there will be a lot of opportunities in that window. -Fast promotion and pay increases during first 5-10 years out of college.

Cons

-Slow to change/innovate because of older culture and size -Some groups have 30+ people badged to a single manager -Very difficult to get promoted once you reach a certain point -Limited opportunities to -How much you enjoy your job and how you are promoted can be very impacted by whether or not you have a good manager. I have seen and had both good and bad managers and my career and job satisfaction have been a function of how good or bad the person in charge is.
